Land Before Time

Oh, if only my life was more like the land before time. I felt exhilarated and overjoyed to be with my friends, In this land that exists solely in that patch of grass, Where our favorite movie turned into utmost reality. I thought about the dinosaurs and how they survived, I hoped that I would go on as many adventures as Littlefoot and his friends, I watched my other friends enjoy this alternate reality, too And my life was bliss. I listened to the birds chirping in the tree, Pretending that it was the screeching of a pterodactyl. I enjoyed everything and everyone, Life was easy, Sitting in that patch of grass, With my best friends and my siblings, I wanted to become a friend of Littlefoot. Whatever happened to the simple life, That land before time?
